WHAT I AM

Quick-thinking, quick-working copywriter craving creative opportunity. Developed my previous position from thin air, completing 175+ pages of unique e-commerce copy in just under four months before assuming the entire slate of copy duties. Now, I look to bring my relationship-oriented attitude and 13+ years of freelance and in-house experience to a collaborative environment that emphasizes growth, free thought, the oxford comma, and fewer typoes typos.
